Kernvel Labs is the team behind a family of live, AI-native Shopify apps. We're not a generic agency renting out hours โ we design, ship, and run real products used by real merchants. Hire us and you get that same team, and those same battle-tested patterns, pointed at your project.
Verified Shopify Partner โMost studios show you a portfolio of other people's logos. We show you software we built, own, and run in production every day โ that's the difference you're hiring.
We don't practice on your budget. Five AI-native Shopify apps are live in production right now โ real backends, real-time systems, and AI doing real work. Your project inherits patterns already proven under load.
Every app we run uses AI for actual work โ pricing, fraud scoring, demand forecasting, visual search. We know exactly where AI earns its keep and where it's just theatre.
App Store approvals, billing that can't double-charge, sub-100ms checks, GDPR webhooks, graceful fallbacks. We build like it's going to production โ because ours already is.
From a single Shopify app to a full product platform โ pick what you need, or let us take the whole thing end to end.
Public App Store apps or private custom apps โ embedded admin, native Polaris UI, billing, webhooks, GDPR, the lot. We've shipped five to the App Store and cleared review every time.
Add senior Shopify and AI capacity to your agency โ under your brand. We build quietly to your standards and your deadlines; you ship to your client. Overflow capacity or an ongoing partnership.
Conversion-focused storefronts, custom themes, and theme app extensions that feel native and load fast โ built to convert, not just to look good.
Put real AI to work โ product recommendations, fraud scoring, demand forecasting, visual search, plain-English assistants. Always with a sensible fallback, so it never just breaks when the model is slow.
Beyond Shopify: custom SaaS, dashboards, portals, APIs, and cross-platform mobile apps โ built on the same backends, real-time systems, and AI that power our live Shopify apps.
Production infrastructure done properly โ containers, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and cost-aware scaling on Google Cloud and DigitalOcean. The unglamorous work that keeps apps fast and online.
No mockups, no "coming soon." Install the apps from the Shopify App Store, or look at what we've built beyond Shopify.
The only Shopify auction app with AI built in โ six auction types, AI pricing, fraud protection, real-time bidding.
AI wishlists with demand intelligence, built-in email marketing, and full-funnel conversion analytics.
Content gating and memberships with a real AI engine โ and a bot-proof checkout hard-gate no other app has.
AI inventory forecasting and demand sensing that learns your store's real seasonality and rhythm.
AI returns and refunds โ score every return for fraud, verify photos, and pick the smartest outcome automatically.
Tell us what you want to build. The first call is free and you'll leave with real scope.
You see working software every week and steer as we go โ not a contract, three months of silence, and a surprise at the end.
We learn your goals, users, and constraints, then scope it tightly. Fixed quote or sprint-based โ your call.
A real plan and architecture, plus a UI that feels native to your platform, before any production code is written.
Working software every week, not a black box. You see progress, give feedback, and steer the build as it happens.
We handle App Store review, deployment, and the post-launch tail โ monitoring, fixes, and iteration.
Not a list we read about โ the exact stack running our live apps and platform today.
Yes. We build under your brand, sign your NDA, and stay invisible to your client. Overflow capacity for a busy sprint or an ongoing partnership both work.
Both. A well-defined scope gets a fixed quote; evolving work runs on two-week sprints or a monthly retainer. We'll recommend whichever fits your project after the first call.
No. Shopify apps and storefronts are our specialty, but we build full-stack web and cross-platform mobile apps too โ the same backends, real-time systems, and AI behind our apps extend well beyond Shopify.
Usually, yes. We'll audit what's there, tell you honestly what's worth keeping, and pick up from a clean baseline rather than papering over problems.
We're an India-registered studio working with merchants and agencies worldwide, comfortably across timezones. Most collaboration happens over async updates and scheduled calls.
